Financial Donations

Your support is invaluable as it is through your support that BMRSG can support asylum seekers and refugees living in detention and the community. Many of those living in the community have no right to work and living on Centrelink support of approximately $20 to $25 a day. Donated funds are used for, but not limited to:

Medical expenses – many have no or limited access to Medicare

Food – after rent etc, many have little left to buy food

Buying goods – e.g. pillows, rice cookers

Electricity costs – the electricity bills, particularly in winter, can come as a shock.

Transport costs – Most are not eligible for transport concession

Telephone cards – at times they just run out of money but need to call home
